High and Away in Washoe was received with warmth and enthusiasm by the large and lovely audience attending its world premiere on July 14th in Incline Village, Nevada. Pianist James Winn, violinist Ruth Lenz, violist Dustin Budish, and ‘cellist Eileen Brownell (shown here rehearsing the piece beforehand in the venue) performed this evocative one movement work, with music inspired by the composer’s experience of and love for the nearby mountains and commissioned by the Tahoe Chamber Music Society.
